Title: Photobucket pictures Post by: Carcharoth on July 16, 2017, 08:31:58 am You may have noticed nearly all the images on the forum have suddenly vanished...
It appears that photobucket have just changed their policy on third party image hosting - they still provide the service, but only as part of their most expensive service. I'll have a look how to sort it, but for the moment it means that a lot of old threads have lost all their pictures - sorry! :( Title: Re: Photobucket pictures Post by: The Slann on July 16, 2017, 12:17:50 pm I don't even see the Logo in the upper left :P
Good thing I use wordpress Title: Re: Photobucket pictures Post by: Lost Egg on July 16, 2017, 08:53:38 pm I've switched to Imgur which so far seems to run better, though I'm not going to transfers loads of pics.
I suspect that Photobucket have seen a BIG drop in users. It seems like such a daft move. Title: Re: Photobucket pictures Post by: Halcyon on July 17, 2017, 01:28:33 am So far I have been lucky, my Photobucket pictures are still up on this and other forums, however who knows for how much longer... ::)
Just to be safe, I have just downloaded all my pictures from Photobucket, created an Imgur account and uploaded all my pictures to Imgur. 8) It all took only about 25 mins, the hard work will be if I have to replace the images on all the various forums ! >:( Title: Re: Photobucket pictures Post by: Danger Frog on July 17, 2017, 11:43:17 am As a stop gap measure can you just make your Twilight album on Photobucket public and then post a link to it here? That way we can still all access the images and continue to use them as a source of inspiration (as there are some real gems in the stuff that's been posted to the forum over the years). I actually think having all the pictures you've posted to the forum in one place could be quite exciting as I suspect we'll all discover some fantastic pictures that we've either never seen before or had completely forgotten about.
Title: Re: Photobucket pictures Post by: Carcharoth on July 18, 2017, 02:35:50 pm Good idea!
They might be a bit disorganised though... I'll have a look. Title: Re: Photobucket pictures Post by: darth tater on July 20, 2017, 01:54:49 pm well that's pretty pants.......

Title: Re: Photobucket pictures Post by: darth tater on January 09, 2018, 04:51:12 pm I have just managed to restore the pics on my thread :) if you insert ~original in between .jpg and [/img] at the end of the image link that appears to work ;D Title: Re: Photobucket pictures Post by: Carcharoth on January 19, 2018, 01:26:49 pm That really does work!
Hopefully not just a temporary fix... Title: Re: Photobucket pictures Post by: benmoor on February 14, 2018, 10:41:58 pm Just tried this on a few of my old threads, doesn't seem to work for me, maybe they've turned this off?
